Delicious and easy, this Classic Banana Bread Recipe has been in our family for years. It's the perfect way to start your day and the bread is freezer friendly too!
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch loaf pans. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with milk and sugar until blended. Add eggs and banana and combine completely. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix just until blended.
Pour evenly into loaf pans. Bake for one hour.
Remove from oven and cool in pans 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely. Store in airtight container for several days, or freeze bread for later use.
Notes
I grew up spreading butter on my banana bread, and have only recently found out that not everyone agrees with this strategy of eating. I think the butter enhances the flavor, and I can’t imagine eating PLAIN bread.
This recipe makes two loaves, which is great for my big family. But if two loaves of bread is too much to enjoy within a few days, freeze it!
Wrap the bread in foil and slide into a ziploc freezer bag. You can store for several months.
